Embodiment Construction

[0027] The invention accomplishes by the following method the object that a plurality of machine systems utilizing VLAN constituted by different methods is simultaneously constituted on one machine system by using virtual machines. Namely, whether VLAN communication corresponding to VLAN ID set to a virtual network interface card is used or VLAN communication corresponding to VLAN ID set by OS on virtual machines using the virtual network interface card is used can be switched depending on whether or not VLAN ID is set to the virtual network interface card.

[0028] An embodiment of the invention will be hereinafter explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029]FIG. 1 is a conceptual structural view for illustrating an operation of a virtual machine system to which an embodiment of the invention is applied.

[0030] A control program 107 for constituting a plurality of virtual machines (hereinafter called “LPAR”) capable of utilizing a virtual network interface card (here...

Abstract

A plurality of machine systems constituted by different VLAN constitution methods are integrated on one machine system by using virtual machines. An operation can be switched for virtual network interface cards to VLAN communication corresponding to VLAN ID set to a virtual network interface card or to VLAN communication corresponding to VLAN ID set by OS on a virtual machine using the virtual network interface card depending on whether or not VLAN ID is set.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a virtual machine system for executing network communication between virtual machines by using a virtual network interface card. More particularly, the invention relates to a virtual machine system using VLAN for network communication between virtual machines. [0002] A multi-core processor having a plurality of processor cores packaged in one processor package has now made it possible to drastically increase the number of processors that can be utilized by one machine system. [0003] When such a machine system having a large number of processors mounted thereto is utilized by a single OS, there remains the problem that a large number of processor resources are left useless when the system is idle. One of the methods for improving utilization efficiency of the processor resources includes the steps of constituting a plurality of virtual machines by a control program on a machine system, allocating the processor resources of ...
